Summary of the contracting process

British Transport Police procured a hosted human resources and duty management system for its workforce. The requirement covers software and information systems, including the provision of the hosted platform rather than a standalone product. Delivery spans England, Scotland and Wales, supporting the organisation’s national operational footprint. This is a technology supply opportunity focused on workforce administration and duty management, rather than general policing services or physical works. Businesses relevant to this requirement include providers of cloud-based HR platforms, workforce scheduling tools, duty management software and associated system services. The buying organisation is British Transport Police, based in London, and the contracted service is intended for use across its operations in Great Britain.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award through the RM6259 Vertical Application Solutions Framework, described as a framework call-off. The tender deadline was 30 January 2026 at 5pm. British Transport Police awarded the contract to SSS Public Safety Limited on 23 August 2026. The awarded value is £1,953,000. The contract runs from 9 September 2026 to 8 September 2029. It is classified as a goods procurement and was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. The process used a selective procurement method and involved one system requirement covering England, Scotland and Wales.

This award shows established demand from British Transport Police for an integrated, hosted HR and duty management capability operating across England, Scotland and Wales. A supplier competing for a future requirement would need a mature cloud-based platform that can support workforce records, duty planning and operational management at national scale. It would also need the delivery capacity, implementation capability and service support expected by a large public-sector policing organisation. The successful route was a call-off from the RM6259 Vertical Application Solutions Framework, so relevant suppliers should consider framework access and the ability to work within its call-off model. The winning supplier’s scale indicates that substantial organisational capacity may be important.
